Downtrend in prices of nylon value chain is expected to continue in upcoming months. Asian market of the fibre is feeling pressure on pricing in last couple of months because of slower buying in the region. The price of benzene, a raw material of nylon products, fell in Asia. Nylon chips and nylon filament yarn are also feeling pressure of slower buying.

According to Fibre2Fashion’s market insight tool TexPro, imported nylon chips (HS chip) is expected to trade at $2417.35 per ton in September 2022 which was priced at $2432.24 per ton in July. The prices may hover at around $2422.15 per ton.

Nylon filament yarn (FOB NE Asia) prices reduced to $2701.2 per ton in July from $2809.5 per ton of June 2022.

Benzene prices tumbled in Asia due to dull regional buying sentiments during the last fortnight. The prices were quoted in the range of $1070 per ton to $1080 per ton in Korea in last two weeks. Nylon chips prices steadied in last two weeks due to average supply and demand. The prices are expected to weaken in the next week.
